Have you ever dreamed of living small in a fantastic country setting? This is likely one of the tiniest "single family" properties available in Rydal. Welcome to Dr. Bachman's Gardener's Cottage! This was once part of a larger estate (the main house still stands on Washington Lane behind the house) constructed in the 1890's with a simplified Victorian aesthetic in the masonry details. The "teeth" that project at the corners are quite unusual. With just over 3/4's of an acre, the placement of the house closer to the road provides for an exceptionally large & private rear yard. At one point in time, there was a full greenhouse and a series of cold frames along the side of the house. The foundations remain and now provide a frame around a large flagstone patio with a garden shed. Across the rear of the home is another flagstone patio that is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or tea. Through a small glass vestibule, one enters into a large living & dining room combination with a full bank of casement windows overlooking the rear grounds. There are three bedrooms of similar size off the living room. The hall bathroom has a tub/shower combination while the en-suite bath has a stall shower. On the other end of the living/dining room is an efficient kitchen that also overlooks the rear grounds through another bank of casement windows with enough room for a cafe table & chairs. There is an entrance directly to the side driveway, and the former 1-car garage has been converted to additional living space as a large family room as well as the laundry area. The stone work was left exposed in this space and is a rustic touch that looks beautiful. There is also a full wall of storage closets as well as an additional coat closet in the family room. The heated square footage only includes the full main floor. The current Owner was a well-regarded artist and converted the huge attic area (400 SF) into his studio. Accessed via steep staircase off the dining room, there is ample ceiling height to get creative under the rafters! Interestingly, they never actually heated this space, but they did place the central A/C system in the attic, and included ducting to cool the attic in the Summer! Conveniently located to so many amenities, once can reach the Meadowbrook or Rydal SEPTA stations in minutes to downtown Philadelphia. Just around the corner are all the shops & restaurants of Jenkintown as well as Whole Foods & Trader Joe's. Abington Hospital is at the end of Woodland Road! One can reach the PA Turnpike in less than 15 minutes for commuting East or West. It's an adorable cottage surrounded by significantly larger (and more expensive) homes. If you don't need any of that, but would love to secure your little slice of the country with a simple, one-story home, then consider Dr. Bachman's Gardener's Cottage!
